Our Ministry team - Wagga Wagga Evangelical Church

WWEC’s Ministry Team

It’s Everyone!

At Wagga Wagga Evangelical Church, the Ministry Team is never just the paid staff and pastors. We believe that Jesus has given every Christian the gifts and opportunities to serve (minister) to their fellow Christians and to the community around them. We see this happening at Wagga Wagga Evangelical Church week-in and week-out as people express love to one another, pray for one-another, serve, provide, train and teach.

Wagga Wagga Evangelical Church is a church where everyone is a part of the ministry team.

Ministry Trainees (MTS)

We aim as a Church family to take on a ministry trainee regularly. MTS (the Ministry Training Strategy) is an Australian movement that seeks to raise up future generations of gospel workers by inviting them to do hands-on ministry with a trainer for 2 years before going onto full-time theological education.

Mitch Kingsland – MTS Apprentice

Mitch lives in Wagga with his wife Hannah and daughter Elsie. He became a Christian as a teenager at The Lakes Evangelical Church and was challenged to think about full-time ministry as a university student at UNSW.

As part of this position he has taken on the role of Youth Group Team Leader. Mitch enjoys camping, cycling, dancing and watching British crime dramas.
